"If this is what you really want"
>You pet her behind her ears.
"If you really want this I will try my hardest"

>I smiled and she wished me good luck when the Kaiser himself asked to see me.
>It was saddening when I returned, I explained that I had been sent off to the front of the warlines... Without her.
>Both our hearts dropped, I would miss her so much, and she... she would never see the front lines.
>Neither of us slept that night, I tossed and turned in my sleep as for her...
>The train took me to the warzone, the fumes of gunsmoke and death claimed the small hundred acres of land.
>Greeted I picked up my riffle and headed to my tent.
>And the war continued, each night I prayed to survive the night, each morning I prayed to survive till the night.
>"Anon you are needed to pick up the supplies tomorrow, We hear your friend will be in"
>Charlie teased, but I did look forward to seeing her here one last time.

>It was her, you wonder how she felt as she entered the warzone
> her first combat role you wondered if she was happy
>Candid looked so majastic up there, her wings glittered in the sun...
>But that moment was killed as a mortar round pierced the silence.
>Watching in horror, Candid falls from the sky like a angel.
>Pulling up in time she manages to survive
>You push everyone away as you work your way to her, she was still your plane, your pony, your...
>"ANON"
>She cries out in pain, her vision shot.
>"Anon, I was ordered to get everyone out of here... I failed"
"You made it"
>You hug her as others start to unload her of the gear that would take them away.
>"No, anon... the only way out now is the sky's and I"
>She coughs, motor oil and blood spew.
>"I can't fly like this. I can't see"
"Then I will be your eyes."
>You see all the weaponary left behind.
"Platoon I want you to rig everything you can onto this little lady. We will make you a path out"

>Hours pass and you are ready, you wish she could see herself.
"Candid your dream is here"
>You kiss her on the nose lovingly
"But you will be fighting for more then freedom, you will be saving these brave mens life"
>"Well lets not leave them waiting.

>The sky is filled with gunfire as the enemy tries to shoot you down, your skills just barely keeping you alive.
>Candid follows your commands perfectly, giving everything she has as shot after shoot penetrate her body.
>The guns blazing you open up a path for your platoon to escape with the first engine dies.
>"Anon I am sorry"
>She says weakly, her second jet smoking badly.
"Hold it together Candid"
>You hold her throttle Tightly.
>"I... I will try"
>You know it's to late but damn it if you will let these Nazi's win.
